Free to fly with. Premium removes the limits.

Yes, and the part that matters most is free forever. Offline tracking in Airplane Mode, the world map, live altitude, ground speed, heading, distance and ETA, the city or sea below you, flight-number lookup, the landing countdown and the sun almanac all work without paying and without an account. Detailed regional maps unlock one region per short ad. The free tier saves your first 5 flights and shows ads.

Flights past your allowance are never deleted. SkyDot keeps recording and saving them — they sit locked in your travel log, and every one of them unlocks the moment you upgrade. Tracking itself is never limited either.

Yes. From the travel log you can watch a rewarded ad to unlock 1 more save, up to 2 ads a day and 10 bonus saves in total. That takes the free tier to 15 saved flights.

No. Lifetime is a one-time purchase of $19.99. It never renews and there is nothing to cancel. Monthly and Annual are there if you’d rather not pay up front.

If you fly even a few times a year, Lifetime: it costs less than seven months of Monthly, and it’s what the app recommends. Annual is about 64% cheaper than a year of Monthly. Monthly suits trying Premium on a single trip.

Monthly and Annual both start with a 7-day free trial. You aren’t charged during the trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, it becomes a paid subscription and your store charges you then, and at the start of each period after that. Lifetime has no trial because nothing recurs.

Through your store. We can’t cancel a subscription for you. On Android, open Google Play, then Subscriptions. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep Premium until the paid period ends.

• Manage subscriptions on Apple

Refunds are handled by the store you bought through, under its policy. We never see your card details and can’t issue a store refund ourselves. Google Play and Apple both have a request form.

• Report a problem with an Apple purchase

Prices here are in US dollars. SkyDot is sold in 174 regions, and each store sets the local price, so the amount you see may differ. It isn’t a conversion of the dollar figure: in Pakistan, for example, the app currently shows Rs 900 monthly, Rs 3,500 yearly and Rs 4,900 for Lifetime.

Yes. One payment of $19.99, and Premium stays unlocked on that store account for good, including every future update. No renewal, no second charge, no expiry.

Purchases belong to the store you made them in. Premium bought on Google Play unlocks on Android devices signed in to that Google Account; a purchase on the App Store unlocks on Apple devices signed in to that Apple Account. It doesn’t carry across, which is how both stores work.

Yes. Airplane Mode switches off the cellular and Wi‑Fi radios. GPS is a receiver: it only listens, and transmits nothing, so it keeps working. Turn Airplane Mode on, leave Location on, and SkyDot tracks the whole flight.

No. Download the maps you want and set your route while you still have signal on the ground. Everything after that runs on your phone.

GPS at cruise is modest, because the radios are off. A long-haul flight on a full charge is comfortable, and you can close the app and reopen it later without losing the log.

No, by design. SkyDot tracks your flight from your seat. Showing other aircraft needs a live data feed, which is exactly what stops working at 38,000 feet.

No. Tracking works with no account at all. Google or Apple sign-in is optional. With Premium, signing in backs up your travel log so it follows you to a new phone.
